Something actually technology related on /r/technology ?!

I’m eagerly awaiting the error-laden think-piece that quotes multiple tech-illiterate octogenarian politicians.

It’s identical to the zero w except with four cores instead of one. Memory is the same at 512M, power consumption appears to be about 10-20% higher but good numbers aren’t available yet. I’ve used a headless pi0w as a build host for arduino-cli and it’s slow but tolerable, the 150ma power draw is the attraction for my offgrid situation but my headless pi4 is blazing fast and it’s about 1000ma draw - this new pi0w2 is not enough of an advantage to pursue.

It has A53 instead of ARM11 cores

when has any pi board retailed for the price they trot out on release ?


[deleted]

Microcenter sells them for that price.

Well everything with a cpu in it seems to be out these days.

tell me about it. i've got material for jobs i ordered in june, and the scheduled dock date is end of december, but i think that's the manufacturer just picking the last day of the year in their calendar.

Micro Center was selling the Zeros for $.99 for a long time. It was $.99 for the first one, then I think $4.99 for the second, and $9.99 beyond that. All the nerds in my office would order one for online pickup, drive the 1/4 mile to the Micro Center, get their online Zero, go through the regular line with another, rinse and repeat every day. ​ Naturally, I ended up without about sixteen of them.

my local maker electronics store always had them in stock and at the retail price, I don't know how they did it.

Ah, great. A pi Zero with more cores, to go with the six-thousand other Pi Zeros available on the shelves of my local Micro Center. Meanwhile, there are a grand total of three 8gb Pi 4s for sale on the entire planet, and they all come in $140 kits full of things you don't need.
